Of Dimitris Katsaganis

The road of rent, the Public-Private Partnership, but also the assignment and execution of concession contracts will be taken by the properties of OAED, which are not intended for direct housing assistance of the beneficiaries.

This is provided for in the provisions of the bill for the reorganization of the organization (which will be renamed “Public Employment Service”), which has been in public consultation since March 15.

Typically, the bill provides that:

* The Public Employment Service (s.s. as OAED will be renamed) may, by decision of the Board of Directors, lease its properties, which are not intended for direct housing assistance of the beneficiaries, to economic entities that have management and development experience real estate, in order to generate revenue that will strengthen its policies of competence in order to strengthen the workforce.

The rent can be set at a fixed monthly amount, which can be adjusted annually, taking into account the consumer price index, or as a percentage of the revenue generated by the operation of the property or in a combination of the two ways of determining the rent.

The rent can be offset by the costs required for the restoration or improvement of the property. The lease of the present is done after an open auction after a public invitation of D.YPA (s.s. as OAED will be renamed), in which there is a deadline of not less than 30 days for the submission of supporting documents.

* D.YPA (s.s. as OAED will be renamed) may, by decision of the Board of Directors, lease its unstructured properties, which are not intended for direct housing assistance of the beneficiaries, to economic entities that have the relevant experience, in order to generate revenue that will strengthen its political responsibilities in order to strengthen the workforce, for a period of time that may exceed 20 years.

The rent can be set at a fixed monthly amount, which can be adjusted annually, taking into account the consumer price index, or as a percentage of the income generated by the operation of the property or in a combination of the two ways of determining the rent.

In the case of such a lease, the lessee undertakes to build the property at his own expense, to the extent that the legal building factor is exhausted. The current tenant is selected after an open auction, in which all the potential tenants who have submitted a proposal for the reconstruction of the property participate, which is accepted by the Board of Directors of D.YPA.

The proposal is submitted following a public invitation of D.Y.P.A., which sets a deadline of not less than 120 days for the submission of supporting documents and a plan for the reconstruction of the property.

* The leases hereof are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Rules of Procedure for the conclusion of Leases. This Regulation sets out all the necessary details for the procedure, the invitations and the open auctions that are necessary for the lease contract of this article and, in particular:

– the type of invitation,

– the criteria for selecting the way in which the rent is defined in the above cases

-the criteria of financial and professional competence to be met by the prospective employees,

-the guarantees to be provided for participation in the tender and the preparation of the lease agreement,

– the possibility of conducting an electronic procedure for the submission of supporting documents and the conduct of the auction, as well as the relevant technical details, and

– ensuring the transparency of the process.

The provisions on the lease of immovable Legal Entities under Public Law do not apply to the leases of this provision.

Η Δ.ΥΠ.Α. may develop and exploit its real estate in other forms of partnerships with individuals and, in particular, with the procedures provided for in the laws on Public-Private Partnership and the award and execution of concession contracts.
